"I Water Table!"

We were invited to the home of Mike's co-worker for the 4th. They have a gorgeous backyard and a lovely pool too which Mike and the girls really enjoyed. I don't currently have a bathing suit that fits my already prego belly so the record breaking 100 and something degree afternoon was a bit harder for me. Taking pictures wasn't really a priority, but I did manage a couple. The girls would "swim" for 10-20 minutes before they wanted to get out. Without fail, a few moment later, Isla would say, "I water table!" Anything that involves the outdoors and water is a water table in her eyes.
"Okay baby, you can go back in, but this is a pool not a water table."
What a sweet heart.

This Morning at the Arboretum

they both love this area on our walk ... a close up view of the marsh and the wildlife within

one of the beautiful views from our walk around the lake

a quick break before more exploring 

a little yogurt and water

they were both impressed with all the people that got off of that big bus

isla was so proud after she put gravel in her hair ... look closely you'll see it on top of her head

of course she decides to sit on the wet gravel

cracking up

time for a little breakfast inside watching all the people go by outside the wall of windows

pancakes, eggs, hash browns, some of mama's toast and some chocolate milk
